🔍 Key Concepts

• Initial first aid for burns – especially "surface" or minor burns • Effect of heat vs. cold on damaged skin tissue • Why you should avoid ointments, powders, or tight bandages at the very beginning

💭 Think About

• Which option best removes heat from the burned tissue quickly and safely? • Is it safer at first to add substances (like powder or soap) to a fresh burn, or to keep it simple and gentle? • What effect would a tight bandage have on a newly burned area in terms of swelling and circulation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice actually cools the burn rather than warming or irritating it • Check which options add chemicals or friction to already damaged skin • Eliminate any option that would constrict the area or seal in heat right away
